DEPTH OF BETRAYAL

Four hundred feet down, someone is trying to sink this boat from the inside - and she has hours to find out who.

Executive Officer Ava Reyes is eleven days into a classified mission to trail an enemy submarine through contested waters when the accidents start: a poisoned air scrubber, a flooded torpedo tube, a captain drugged unconscious in his own stateroom. Someone aboard the USS Leviathan is sabotaging the boat from within - and feeding their position to the hostile vessel now closing on their position.

With her captain down and command thrust into her hands, Reyes has to run a submarine, hold together a hundred and thirty terrified sailors, and hunt a saboteur hiding in plain sight - all without knowing which trusted face across the wardroom table might be the one lying to her. Every clue points somewhere different. Every ally could be the enemy. And the deeper she digs, the more the walls of her own boat feel like they're closing in.

DEPTH OF BETRAYAL is a claustrophobic military technothriller for readers who love a locked-room mystery with the tension turned all the way up - trust no one, trust the hull even less, and the clock never stops.

What's inside:

• A propulsive submarine thriller told in tight third person, with short interludes from the saboteur's own hidden point of view

• A ticking-clock investigation where every suspect has a motive and every answer raises three more questions

• Plausible, accessible naval technothriller detail - no jargon dumps, no real classified procedures, just tension you can feel through the hull

• A complete standalone story with a full, satisfying resolution - no cliffhanger

Perfect for readers of submarine and military thrillers who want a fast, character-driven read with a genuine whodunit at its core. A great pick for anyone who loves stories about leadership under pressure, betrayal within a trusted team, and the particular terror of not knowing who to trust when there's nowhere left to run. Makes a great gift for the thriller reader in your life who has already read everything on the shelf.
